Illinois State signs 'high-major guy' in 6-9 Alston Andrews from Florida high school

Alston Andrews of Orlando, Fla., has made an oral commitment to the Illinois State basketball team.

"He has a chance to be elite," said Siers, who is Ocoee's head coach. "You know how some guys have 'it'? Alston has 'it.' He missed his whole junior year with two foot surgeries. He got stronger and worked on his game and made 300 shots in the paint every day. He can really shoot the ball and has 3-point range."

Muller believes Andrews "has all the physical tools necessary" to have an outstanding career with ISU. Andrews played in the summer for Game Speed Elite out of Gainesville and averaged almost 10 rebounds per game.
